Character Info …


(this is all pasted from a wiki lol, there’s no way i’m gonna write all this myself. thelastofus.fandom.com/wiki/Ellie_Williams)
(also sorry if it’s a lot. just skim through it if you need to.)

PAST:

Ellie grew up as an orphan in the Boston quarantine zone and attended a military preparatory school, where she met and befriended Riley Abel. When Ellie was fourteen, the pair were both infected with the Cordyceps brain infection, where Ellie discovered she was immune. A friend of her mother's and the leader of the Fireflies, Marlene, believed that she was the key to reverse engineering a vaccine. Marlene tasked Joel Miller, a smuggler, with escorting Ellie outside of the QZ. The simple drop-off turned into a year-long journey across America, and the two eventually formed a close bond.

Initially, Ellie is fairly unskilled in survival techniques. She cannot swim, a hindrance to herself since swimming is crucial, given the amount of water bodies in the locations she travels. She carries a switchblade, which is her only weapon until she is trusted with a gun by Joel. Her youth leads Joel to initially doubt her competence so he does not grant a firearm to Ellie until she saves him by shooting a hunter, and only afterwards does he teach her how to use a hunting rifle. Later on, she becomes more proficient in combat, sporting a number of weapons such as a pistol, rifle, bow, and explosives, along with her trademark switchblade. She can also ride a horse.

PRESENT:

By April, 2038, Ellie has finally learned how to swim, play the acoustic guitar and sing. Ellie's main hobby is drawing, with her skillfully able to draw many points of interests and other people's faces in her journal and her room. Furthermore, she is a skilled artist.

Her capabilities with firearms have greatly improved and she can handle a large variety of guns with ease. She is physically stronger, enabling her to use human enemies as shields and she can craft arrows, as well as use larger melee weapons such as machetes and hammers, which she can also disarm from her opponents though her preferred close range weapon is her switchblade.

However, her strength has limits and foes will break out of her grasp if she doesn't act quickly enough. While capable of overpowering normal sized individuals, it does take quite a bit of effort on Ellie's part to do so.

Her speed and agility has also greatly increased and is her best asset, easily able to outrun or chase down anyone pursuing or running away from her regardless of the terrain or environment by being able to slide or vault over obstacles with ease.

Ellie's most important, and unique, ability is her complete immunity to the fungus. Due to a strange mutation in her brain that developed following her initial infection, she became immune to the bites and spores of the infected. Despite this infection, the infected do not recognize her as one of their own so they still attempt to kill her. It is presumed that if she was properly studied, some form of cure or countermeasure for the infection could be created. This is never clarified, however, since the study would result in her death, which Joel did not allow. Ellie also mentioned that neither the infection and immunity can be transferred to others though.

Ellie is described as having auburn hair, bright green eyes, fair skin with freckles, a scar bisecting her right eyebrow, a thin stature. Several years after the events of The Last of Us, Ellie's hair became darker and she now sports a tattoo on her right arm. Her jawline is now more refined and she has become taller in appearance. Her voice is also deeper as well. She also often wears blue colored clothing rather than her usual red.

Ellie is an ENFP and a 6w7. She’s smart, self-reliant, mature beyond her years, yet afraid of being alone and abandoned. Strong, witty, and a little rough around the edges. Definitely traumatized and has PTSD. Determined and resilient.
